OTTAWA — Sunny weather was on hand
Friday evening for the 2014 Relay for Life of Putnam County at the
Ottawa-Glandorf football field. Team members walked the track in
varying outfits and t-shirts including the purple t-shirts worn by
cancer survivors.

In addition to a live auction, the
evening included various other fundraisers including Dude Looks like
Super Hero contest, liminaria ceremony, and jail arrests.

Various walks including the orange
lap-leukemia and kidney cancer; dark blue lap-colon cancer; light
blue lap-prostrate lap; pink lap- breast cancer and many other laps
drew attention to the many types of cancer.
